Reviews
|
Premiere -
Adults expecting a little bit more, "Chicken Run," this ain't.
|
|
Village Voice -
The main problem with this Disney release--which also wastes the voices of Ricky Gervais and Jim Broadbent--is its refusal to recognize the war as anything but an excuse for tomfoolery.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The CG is on the rubbery side, and the backdrops are jarringly 2-D. But Valiant isn't so hard to look at -- it's hard to listen to.

Washington Post -
A mite too hard to follow for most of the kiddie crowd who'll want to see it.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A plucky little bird that just won't fly.
